Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Reading's largest employer, the Royal Berkshire Hospital, has announced it will cut up to 600 jobs by 2015 as part of a plan to save £60m, despite the fact that funding for the NHS as a whole is being ring-fenced. Chief executive Edward Donald said the majority of the cuts would come from backroom posts, including human resources, not frone-line staff. Alistair Maclean, from the Independent Democratic Union (IDU) said that the cuts will have a "devastating impact on health service in Berkshire. There is a myth that we can make savings without affecting front-line staff."
